唐代博陵崔氏世宦的盛衰

The Rise and Fall of Boling Cui Family's Officials in the Tang Dynasty

博陵崔氏在唐代的世宦发展,经历了一个先兴盛后衰落的过程;其各房世宦发展并不平衡,具有明显的阶段性特点,而且高级官员和中低级官员比例差异较大。门阀士族的家产境遇及门荫制选举地位的演变,是影响门阀士族世宦发展的重要因素,其中门荫制是影响门阀世宦的直接因素,而门荫制的衰落主要是由藩镇使府辟署制度发展造成的;进士科只为门阀士族的衰落提供了一个历史可能。

The development of Boling Cui family＇s officials in the Tang Dynasty experienced a process of rise and fall, and the development of its branches was unbalanced, which had obvious stage characteristics, and the proportion of their senior officials and junior officials were quite different. The circumstances of the dominant family and the changes of the election status in the menyin system（a hereditary system of selecting officials according to their fathers＇ or grandfathers＇ achievements） were the important factors that affected the development of the dominant family officials, and the menyin system was a direct factor. The fall of the menyin system mainly resulted from the development of the system of recruiting and appointing officials in military posts while Jin Shi Ke（one of the imperial examinations） just provided a possibility for the fall of the dominant family in the history.
